While at Maison and Objet earlier this year, we were drawn to this little booth with the most adorable children's furniture. Using natural and child safe materials, the furniture from Sand for Kids reminds us of pieces you would see in a little child's classroom (except for the bed), all made to be easily accessbile for a child to be independent and take things for themselves. This totally made sense when we found out that the designer, Silvia, used to be a montessori school teacher! We really appreciate the simplicity of the pieces, allowing for a child to use it for a number of years.

Let me tell you about the pool of very talented design students here in Singapore! Just recently I met Zara who now helps me with the Bloesem blogs for a couple of hours per day ... today her first post about prints and patterns is live on BLiving.

Over a course of 11 weeks fellow students of Zara explored the act of play and meaningfully introduced play into a series of various contexts. Each project, not mere toys, is an investigation into designs that bring out refreshing play experiences. The students were led by Clement Zheng and Studio Juju.

Minimals in the image above is a family of animals reduced to their most identifiable characteristics captured in a 5 x 5 x 5 cm wooden cubes. Potato Play hopes to bring back our mischievousness of playing with food back in the days when we were children.

Luma is a series of toy vehicles that shine and leaving glowing trails in the dark.

Doors: Inspired by "A Door to Another World", DOORS is designed to evoke the imagery of various animal dwellings and how a wonderland may exists behind these dwellings.

Up in the air is about visual playfulness through stacking bold shapes and colors to create various seating and table heights.

Zig Zig is a children's tee shirt that magically transforms into imaginative landscapes.

Hidie Hut ... "Walking into a life-size story..." This is what HIDIE HUT wants children to experience.

Pop Up is a life-sized pop-up book for children. By a simple flip, a flat space instantly transformed into a colourful landscape of geometric shapes and interesting forms.

Rock & Roll explores play in the form of motion. It mimics movements that children are familiar with, creating an avenue of play for them.

None of the above products are ready for sale yet ... they are all prototypes. But would you be interested in working with one of the designers or offer them a hand in producing one of the above gorgeous designs please DO ! You can find the correct email addresses on the webpages by following the links i have given in this post.

Stella McCartney Kids says LAYER UP this season. I picked out some orange and blues for the boys and girls. Favorite sweater would be that moustache reindeer. How cute is that? Also click here to and have the kids decorate a Stella Tree to print. I have to admit I decorated one for myself.

I love products made by Mom's, especially this one named after her very own son too. Heidi Schaefer started in Berlin designed Nesta's Nest as a comfortable baby basket but also wanted it to look and fit elegantly with the interior of a home. Love the simplicity of the design, its natural color combination and little details in the stitching. Use it as a toy basket too. This mommy did good.
